How long can I extend my lease for?

If you have owned the flat for at least two years then you have the right to buy an extra 90 years to add to what is left on your existing lease.

For example, if you have 75 years left on your lease you will be given a new lease of 165 years.

Alternatively you may be able to extend your lease to any number of years by negotiating informally with your landlord.

Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
